| Virgin Mirror... Robert Graves... |
|
Souls in virginity joined together Rest unassailable: Ours is no undulant fierce rutting fever But clear unbroken lunar magic able To mirror loves illimitable. |
|
When first we chose this power of being I never paused to warn you What ruinous charms the worls was wearing; I knew you for a child fostered in virtue And swore no hand could hurt you. |
|
Then should I suffer nightmares now Lest you, grown somewhat older, Be lured to accept a worldly where and how, Carelessly breathing on the virgin mirror, Clouding love's face for ever? |
